Show Jumping Takes Flight - 13 Weeks of Hunter / Jumper Horse Shows

Just south of Chicago, HITS has revitalized this beloved raceway of nine-decades into a State-of-the-Art Equestrian Show Jumping Venue which features nine spacious competition rings – Five of those will be show rings for Hunters and four of them show rings for Jumpers, including a splendid Grand Prix Arena. Fans and Spectators alike, will be able to enjoy viewing all show rings from the 4,467 seat, climate-controlled Grandstand. Former Racetrack-goers will recognize the original tote board and finish line from the historic track, which the HITS Family has thoughtfully integrated into the new facility, along with original relics, photos and memorabilia throughout to keep the Racetrack memories intact.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC: Enjoy a day of family friendly fun at Balmoral Park in Crete, IL.
